The editor of Cosmopolitansays that the magazine will begin endorsing
political candidates because she wants women to have control over having a
child, “not a bunch of old white guys sitting in D.C.”

As Politico reports, Cosmo
editor-in-chief Joanna
Colesstates, “The biggest single
decision which will impact your life is when you have a child.”

Coles says she hopes to urge the magazine’s readers who “sit
back and complain” to vote for candidates whose top concerns are abortion
access and free contraception.

“What we’re trying to say is, ‘Think about the issues that
are important to you, and if you want to have a voice, then you need to use
your voice,” Coles explains. “It’s all very well to sit back and complain, but
you don’t have a right to complain if you don’t use your vote.’”

Cosmo’s new effort is titled #CosmoVotes and will
include candidate endorsements and a social media campaign that hopes to
motivate its readers to get to the polls to be part of “the party of the year.”

Additionally, senior political writer Jill Filipovic, a
former lawyer and Guardian columnist, will interview candidates and
publish political stories.

Endorsements of Senate, House and gubernatorial candidates
will be made by a board composed of Cosmopolitan.com editors. Criteria for
endorsement will be support for equal pay, abortion, free contraception, and
anti-voter I.D. laws.

In an effort to make the political information not “boring
and difficult to understand” for

Cosmo’s readers, Amy Odell, Cosmopolitan.com’s editor
and head of the political effort, said the social media campaign will launch
with a “Save the Date” for Election Day featuring a photo of Beyoncéwith American flag nails.

“We’re using social media in a very big way because our
audience is very active on social media and they really engage with us in
social in many ways,” Odell said. “We also
wanted to have a lot of fun with it and make it feel like a party, obviously
there’s a pun to be made with the biggest ‘political party’ of the year.”

The plan is that each week, beginning September 8 and until
the November elections, Cosmo editors will endorse from one to three
candidates based upon their “established criteria.”

However, multi-faceted candidates who might support equal
pay but are also pro-life, for example, would not be eligible for consideration
by Cosmo’s editors.

“We’re not going to endorse someone who is pro-life because
that’s not in our readers’ best interest,” Odell said. “[P]eople say
that’s a liberal thing, but in our minds its not about liberal or conservative,
it’s about women having rights, and particularly with health care because that
is so important.”

“All young women deserve affordable easy access to health
care, and that might include terminating a pregnancy, and that’s OK,” she
added.

Coles said political endorsements will primarily feature
candidates in swing states and those who strongly support free contraception
and gun control.

“We’re looking very carefully at candidates who we feel will
be in seats that are swing seats or we feel very strongly about the issues they
stand for,” Coles said. “Access to
health care and access to contraception or abortion if, god forbid, you need
one, and equal pay for equal work.”

“And there may be some gun controlissues,
which is also something we believe in, responsibility for gun owners,” she continued. “If
there are candidates who are in favor of 9-year-old girls shooting Uzis at a
theme park — we are not in favor of those candidates.”

As MRC Newsbusters reported, Planned
Parenthoodawarded Cosmopolitan
its “Excellence in Media Award” last month during its annual Maggie Awards,
named after the abortion giant’s beloved founder, Margaret Sanger.

According to Newsbusters:

It’s hard to tell which Cosmo piece contributed most to
earning this honor – though there are several to choose from, including ones
calling the wait for sex until after the second date "100%
outdated," noting "cool" women go to strip clubs,
highlighting how abortion can strengthen relationships and, more
recently, publishing sexual positions for lesbians. Or maybe the
recognition came from hosting the “2014 Sex Olympics" and
the “Holiday Sextacular” of "Twelve Days of Sex Moves."

Planned Parenthood says it bestows its
Maggie Award to “recognize exceptional contributions by the media and arts and
entertainment industries that enhance the public’s understanding of
reproductive rights and health care issues, including contraception, sexeducation, teen pregnancy, abortion, and
international family planning.”

"This is the real task before us: to reassert our commitment as a nation to a law higher than our own, to renew our spiritual strength. Only by building a wall of such spiritual resolve can we, as a free people, hope to protect our own heritage and make it someday the birthright of all men." --Ronald Reagan

A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."-- Edward Abbey

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."John Stuart Mill

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." ~~~George Washington

“A nation that substitutes emotion and empathy for rational thought will eventually digress into the Dark Ages,”Congressman Steve King (R-IA),

INTEGRITY: The highest courage is to dare to be ourself in the face of adversity. Choosing ethics over convenience and truth over popularity means there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They may be more likely to go to Heaven for good intentions yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.~ C. S. Lewis
